Leaked Justin Baldoni’s Voice Message To Blake Lively Brings New Insights

At the center of the controversy is a rooftop scene in the romantic drama “It Ends With Us,” which Blake Lively revised to align with her creative vision.

While the changes were praised by Reynolds and Swift, Baldoni’s initial lukewarm response reportedly led to tension between the two.

Exclusive text messages included in Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against Lively, obtained by Daily Mail, reveal her disappointment in his reaction. Baldoni later admitted he “felt obliged” to send her a text message expressing support, adding, “I would have felt that without Ryan and Taylor.”

Lively responded with a lengthy text, stating, “They [Reynolds and Swift] also know I’m not always good at making sure I’m seen and utilized for fear of threatening egos, or fear of affecting the ease of the process. They don’t give a sh-t about that. And because of that, everyone listens to them with immense respect and enthusiasm. So I guess I have to stop worrying about people liking me.”

In response, Baldoni sent a six-and-a-half-minute voicemail, now published for the first time, apologizing to Lively and addressing her “dragon” remark directly.

“Damn right, you got great friends,” Baldoni said in the voicemail. “If that’s how you felt and they knew that. F-ck. We should all have friends like that, aside from the fact they’re two of the most creative people on the planet… The three of you guys together is unbelievable. Talk about energy. Force. All three of you.”

Baldoni continued to praise Lively’s work ethic and creativity, emphasizing that he didn’t need Reynolds and Swift’s input to recognize the value of her changes. “I just wanted you to know, I didn’t need that. It’s really good and it’s going to make the movie sing like you said and I’m excited to go through the whole movie with you,” he said.

The voicemail also highlighted Baldoni’s belief in their shared vision and his excitement about their creative partnership.

“You and I have been trying to build a relationship which I think we’ve done successfully. Here we are talking together at 2am in the morning,” he said. “But largely via text and voicemail and I will admit, that’s not my biggest strength. I love being with people and being in somebody’s space and being face-to-face and I think that’s where I excel.”

“But I’ve definitely fallen short at times in our texts and voicemail exchanges because there’s so much to communicate and so much happening. All I have to say is I’m really looking forward to spending time together and I believe that’s going to go a long way for our chemistry, which I believe is there. It’s been there from the start so I was so damn excited when you agreed to do this film. I believe it comes from us both being so hard working and having a vision. I’m excited to have a creative partner in that with you.”

The release of the audio comes as tensions continue to escalate between Lively, Reynolds, and Baldoni. Baldoni’s legal team is reportedly preparing subpoenas for both Lively and Reynolds as part of the ongoing legal dispute.

In a case riddled with allegations and counterclaims, one of the most shocking claims comes from Blake Lively, who accused co-star and director Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment on the set of “It Ends With Us.”

Lively’s civil rights complaint alleged that Baldoni acted inappropriately during the filming of a romantic dance scene, dragging his lips down her neck and whispering, “It smells so good.” According to Lively, no one overheard the remark as the microphones were switched off for the silent scene.

The footage depicts a candid and professional dynamic between Lively and Baldoni, with lighthearted banter and collaborative discussions. Around the seven-minute mark, Baldoni can be heard asking, “Am I getting beard on you?” to which Lively laughs and replies, “I’m probably getting spray tan on you.”

Baldoni responds, “It smells good,” eliciting more laughter from Lively, who explains that the scent is from her body makeup. The tone remains lighthearted throughout, suggesting a stark contrast to Lively’s allegations.

The “It Ends With Us” saga has captivated Hollywood, with fans and industry insiders closely following every twist and turn. While the new audio sheds light on the dynamic between Lively and Baldoni, the fallout from the lawsuit is far from over, leaving many wondering how this high-profile feud will ultimately play out.
